2025 Receiving Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lemon had a breakout season in 2024, and late-season surges against Notre Dame (9-133) and Texas A&M (6-99) cemented him as USC's top wideout, leading the team in yardage (764) and receptions (52). Lemon's ascension was somewhat of a surprise considering the logjam of talent available in the wide receiver room last season, but key departures from Zachariah Branch and Duce Robinson will guarantee Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane as Jayden Maiava's top targets. Lemon has drawn comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown, a former Trojan receiver who's had tremendous success in the NFL. At 5-11, Lemon has strong YAC numbers and uses speed and precise route running to give passers an open gap. Thanks to Lincoln Riley's dynamic playbook, Lemon could rise near the top of the Big Ten receiver rankings and boost Maiva's stock in the process. Read Past Outlooks
Moves on to NFL
Lemon announced Wednesday that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at USC to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lemon's decision to enter the professional ranks was merely a formality after the wideout previously confirmed earlier this month that he would opt out of playing in USC's Dec. 30 Alamo Bowl matchup with TCU. The star wideout took home the Biletnikoff Trophy in 2025 after recording 79 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns over 12 games. He'll likely be one of the first receivers off the board in the draft.
